Managing The Rising Tide Of Lawlessness
posted (June 12, 2020)
We also asked the Commissioner how his department is policing this latest set of changes, and how it is managing the rising tide of lawlessness:

Jules Vasquez- Reporter
"Policing in a changing environment requires maximum intellectual flexibility, right? It's really on the police because the goal post shifts every week or every two weeks. Tell me what do you expect from your officers now that we are at this most relaxed stage and we know that a lot of people, a lot of young people in particular cannot wait to just break out."

Chester Williams- Commissioner of Police
"We will do what we can with a view to ensure that the citizenry are safe. But at the same time we want to ask the citizenry to do their best to ensure that they remain calm that they maintain law and order and try not to get too drunk to the extent that they do or say things that they may regret or that might antagonize somebody that may lead to a stabbing or a murder."
